      I've always through that this option for government elections would be a good idea - it'd force the politicians to actively do something rather than rely on reputation, the leader etc. But, being somewhat cynical, I'm sure the parties would find a way to bypass or exploit it too.
      Plus I don't think it'd work in a place like Australia, where voting is compulsory. Given how much we kinda hate election campaigns, I don't think we'd ever get a set Government, with seats all over going back to the polls constantly. The parties would go broke before all the seats were filled.

    I definitely believe it’s possible to be ‘too rich’ to be prime minister nowadays. Unless you have a Trumpian-esque populism that can endear a billionaire to working people, It’s all too easy to label you as ‘out of touch’. I remember a very condescending phone call on the radio where Rishi tried to empathise with a severely struggling single mother raising 2 kids, he said “I know exactly what you’re going through”, laughable! Now, neither would Johnson, May, Cameron, or even Blair for that matter. However, coming from Sunak made it seem all the more absurd. I think his wealth even makes some conservative MPs uncomfortable, and that’s saying something.

    • @Bushflare
      @Bushflare ปีที่แล้ว

      If being out-of-touch was political suicide then every have Labour and Tory and Lib Dem and Green and SNP and every other politician for the past 20 freaking years wouldn't have won their elections and the country would probably be governed by Count Dankula at this point... which probably wouldn't even be a downgrade...

      On one hand, one could say though that Trump delivered a template for how to succeed in that situation. On the other, though, the UK electorate is historically far more sensitive to class issues than US voters, so I'd kind of agree here. I'm not sure if the Conservative party will see that risk the same way, though.

      To be fair it was international law, not their law. it sounds bad, but when I realized the ECHR abolished the death penalty, I stopped caring about international law. If there is a single international law not worth following, the source of all of them all looks questionable and "breaks international law" is no longer damming. I agree with some, but only on a case-by-case basis. So "he really had it coming" it an excuse for breaking international law, depending on said law.

    Jeremy Hunt - People are struggling to meet the cost of living, and he wants to cut Corporation tax. Seems like a Tory thing to do.

      Hmm, yes. The Tory here is made out of Tory.
      Which is very unfortunate for of us that have to put up with that

    A former chancellor becoming a party leader and prime minister...sounds familiar, doesn't it?
    History has a way of repeating itself, after all. So Sunak becoming PM may well result in his party's defeat in the GE.

    Well I think they should only vote for a candidate who's name rhymes with a really rude word! It is how Boris got in - his name is another word for penis - so he won by a 'length'!

    Using the term "Libertarian" in the context of the US definition of the word is worrying. In Europe the term Libertarianism is almost uniformly described with Libertarian Socialism or Anarchism such as described as an example by George Orwell.

    These wacko's are paid a handsome wage with generous expenses, in theory to run the Country. But all we get is them, them, them. Their brexit, their Nanny's marmalade, their scandals, controversy, cover-ups and now patch-ups. We need government that governs rather than wastes time on their own failings that continue unabated. Why can't they just do their job as Professionals, in the same way they would have to, if in the real business world.
